Sprint
Methodology and book that helps teams complete a five-day process to test ideas and solve problems.
Created at Google, Sprint is a methodology and how-to book that helps teams complete a five-day process for testing ideas and solving problems. Made for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs, Sprint guides the process from idea to prototype. The tight deadline, intensive teamwork, and focused topic helps to evaluate ideas and innovate quickly.
Sprint is a book about surprising ideas: that the biggest challenges require less time, not more; that individuals produce better solutions than teams; and that you can test anything in one week by building a realistic façade.
Sprint takes you behind the scenes with some of America's most fascinating startups as they sprint on difficult problems. You'll meet a hotel robotics maker, an innovative coffee roaster expanding to new markets, a company organizing the world's cancer data, and Slack, the fastest-growing business app.
Sprint is for teams of any size, from small startups to Fortune 100s, from teachers to nonprofits
